The Ainu of Japan

The Ainu live in northern Japan on the island of Hokkaido. They do not look like other Japanese people. They have round, dark brown eyes and wavy hair. Their skin is not dark but light. The men have beards and mustaches. Where did these

people come from? Did they come from Europe across Tussia to Japan? Did they come from Indonesia? Are they completely different from all the other people in the world? Nobody knows the answers to these questions.

The Ainu are hunters and farmers. They eat fish and grow rice and vegetables on their farms. The men hunt for brown bears in the forests. They eat the meat and sell the skins. The bear is also important in their religion.

The Ainu people make their houses from a kind of grass. There is only one room inside. It has a dirty floor with an open fire in the middle. Their religion tells them that the house must have one window on the east side.

The Ainu were on Hokkaido 7,000 years ago. In the 1800s, many Japanese people moves north to Hokkaido. They brought new diseases to Ainu villages, and many people died. The Ainu people also lost much of their farming and hunting land. Their children had to attend Japanese schools and speak only Japanese. Over time, the Ainu people began to forget their traditions and language.

In the 1990s, the Ainu demanded their rights. In response, the Japanese government made a new law. Now the government has to promote Ainu culture and traditions. The People can listen to Ainu language lessons on the radio and read a newspaper in the Ainu language. They can also take classes to learn Ainu traditions.

Today there are less than a few hundred thousand Ainu people left. Will their

language and traditions continue? There is a better chance now that they will.
